Multiple Zone Activation
If more than one zone is activated at the same time or within 102 minutes, the CAM should advise the police 999 center accordingly and state “Verified Alarm by Multiple Zones”. Other useful information such as location of the alarmed zone can also be given. Note: This related to CAM’s customers who want the police to be called – some may not.
Keyholders – Minimum Numbers
All customers having system monitored by CAM’s must have a minimum of three Keyholders.
Emergency Buttons Pressed
All EB’s / Panic Buttons pressed from all type of premises should first be verified by the CAM by telephone call back to the site. If no contact, carry out usual Keyholder instructions.
Record Keeping
All CAMS will keep a log of all calls to the police on “Excel for Windows”, and submit the report to the CPB by 10th of the month o the preceding month. These reports are to be sent via email and storage in thumb or hand disks.
Not to count those alarms reported by general public to Police without PIN codes and site evidence support as it affect the false alarm rate of CAMS and response level of Police to Subscribers. There were case where the environmental condition of the relevant subscriber triggered alarms and Police was called by the public, and finally led to subscriber being downgraded. Too many different situations that cause the public to call police. Devilment is one of them that often happens today.
New Installations
All new installations – from the date for connection to the CAM – should have no calls to the police until after a seven day period is completed.
